Abstract:

As one of the most common hospital-acquired infections, catheter-related infections (CRIs) which are caused by microbial colonization lead to the increasing morbidity and mortality of patients and the life treat for medical staffs. In this case, a variety of efforts have been made to design functional materials to limit bacterial colonization and biofilm formation. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in surface modification strategies of biomedical catheters used to prevent CRIs. And the tests to evaluate the performances of modified catheters are listed. Future prospects of surface antibacterial strategies for biomedical catheters are also outlined.
